- Galaxy Highways News - 16 October 2024
Dear players, We wanted to let you know that we've decided to shift our game's release to Q1 2025. We understand that we've postponed the launch a few times already, and we truly appreciate your patience and support. As just two developers juggling full-time jobs and family life with kids, the development has been more challenging and time-consuming than we initially thought. Please know that we're committed and working hard to make the best game possible. We don't want to cut corners, we want to deliver something that both we and you will be proud of. To make up for the delay, we would like to reveal our latest boss - the colossal Mantis Mining Station. Alongside its electric blasts, arc waves and projectile barrages, it launches defensive fighters to challenge you. Thank you for sticking with us on this journey. We can't wait to share the finished product with you. Sincerely,
